Quilty Fun is Here!!!...

Last week 

Quilty Fun 

"Lessons in Scrappy Patchwork"

arrived hot off the press...

and has been shipping to quilty people everywhere:)

YaY!!!

I'm so excited!!!

If you have received your copy... 

 I'd love to hear what you think about it!

I have had so much fun designing everything in the book...

and I'm so pleased with how it turned out.

And I love the spiral binding!!!

All of the row along quilt instructions are included in the book...

and I used the row along blocks 

to create even more projects for you.

I'm so proud of each and every one of them

 and I hope that you like them too.

Of course you know that I could not 

have done this without my awesome publishers!

Kimberly and the girls from 

It's Sew Emma

have been such a joy to work with.

A BIG thank you goes out to them

 from the bottom of my heart:)

And just so you know...

now that the book is here...

the Quilty Fun has just begun!!!

We will be having a Sew Along to celebrate:)

*if you follow me on

 Instagram 

you have been seeing 

sneak peeks of the sew along

YaY!

I have designed one last project 

from the blocks in Quilty Fun

for the sew along:)

It's a Quilty Fun Sampler!!!

I can't show you exactly what it looks like yet...

but all will be revealed on November 1st!!!

(just a few sleeps away)

Sugar Stars...a new Gracie Girl Pattern!!!...

I have been busy as a bee playing with my 

Gracie Girl fabric...

and getting ready for my 

fall quilt market display in Houston.

Today I wanted to share with you

 the release of a new 

Gracie Girl quilt pattern...

Sugar Stars!

This is an older pattern that 

I published way back in the late 90's.

Back then I simply named the pattern

"Pieced Drunkards Path"

When I originally designed this pattern...

there were no such things as pre-cuts...

and in my original pattern

 I used 2 1/2" squares...

but this time around...

I resized it to use 5" pre-cut squares:)

(or 10" squares subcut into 5" squares)

You get the look of the

 traditional drunkards path block curve

 by using my Easy Corner Triangle method.

A very easy quilt to make...

and finishes up into a nice twin size.

My always sweet friend and

 sometimes stunt double Sherri... 

quickly pieced the top for me

 after I sent it to her 

all cut and ready to go...

Thanks a bunch Sherri! 

After quilt market is over...

 it will be going on Kassidy's bed...

as she requested:)

I hope she has 

"sweet dreams" 

every time that 

she sleeps underneath Sugar Stars:) 

I also made Kass a 24" pillow...

to match the quilt and for her room as well.

Instructions and pattern for the pillow are of course included in the pattern:)

"Sugar Stars"
